Stochastic Buffeting Analysis of Uncertain Long-Span Bridge Deck with an Optimized Method

Analysis of Long Span Bridge Response to Winds: Building Nexus between Flutter and Buffeting

In current bridge aeroelastic analysis frameworks, predictions of flutter instability and buffeting response to wind fluctuations are treated as two separate procedures. The flutter instability is analyzed through the solution of a complex eigenvalue problem, offering information on how the self-excited forces influence bridge dynamics, especially the modal damping, and eventually drive the bri...

Computer Simulation of Buffeting Responses for Long-span Continuous Rigid-frame Bridge with Over-height Pier

The continuous rigid frame bridges are more sensitive to wind action with the increase of bridge span and pier height. In order to calculate the wind induced buffeting responses, the fluctuating wind field at bridge site are simulated by harmonic synthesis method and the wind loads are also derived based on the simplified quasi-steady theory, the time-history dynamic responses of the bridge are...

Multimode coupled flutter and buffeting analysis of long span bridges

In this paper, the equations of structural motion are expressed in time-invariant state-space equations by expressing the frequency dependent self-excited forces in terms of rational functions. Accordingly, the multimode coupled flutter analysis is reduced to evaluate the eigenvalues of a constant matrix at each prescribed wind velocity. This formulation is computationally efficient in comparis...
